Marvel is reprinting an iconic issue of X-Men #133. The classic comic is getting an all-new edition that will give readers another chance to own it at cover price (sadly, not the original 40-cent price!).
The issue, by John Byrne, Chris Claremont, Terry Austin, Glynis Oliver, Tom Orzechowski, and Bob Budiansky, occurs during the Dark Phoenix Saga and is considered a significant issue in the lore of the X-Men.
The issue features Wolverine's iconic first cover appearance, with the art reprinting the fan-favorite Byrne and Austin art. The X-Men #133 Facsimile Edition features the original cover art by Byrne and Austin, while Salvador Larroca will draw a 1:25 incentive variant. Check out the text solicit followed by the main cover art.
Cyclops desperately tries to reach out Jean and bring her out of her dark transformation. But Mastermind has other plans and attacks Cyclops on the astral plane! Can Scott survive death in this psychic realm?
The X-Men #133 Facsimile Edition arrives at CaptCan Comics in-store and online on March 12, 2025. Pre-order the reprint now to ensure you don't miss out!
